HEAD IMPACT

Head impact can cause skull fractures and focal or diffuse brain injury which can result in threat to life. Impacts to the face and jaw can cause bony fractures and ocular injuries. Human protective equipment must be tested in ways that simulate the mass and energy of the impact event and also measure the force or impulse experienced by the head, such that these measurements can be used to estimate the risk of injury. Biokinetics has the experience and in-house capabilities to simulate real-world impact events and assess injury risk for all types of head impacts.
